As the presenting partner of Big Feastival, M&S Food invites you to join us as a guest at this year’s extravaganza of music, food and fun from 23 - 25 August.
Taking place on Alex James' beautiful Cotswolds farm, Big Feastival brings together music from the UK’s biggest artists, Michelin-starred chefs live on stage, award-winning street food and an exciting array of family activities, in an action-packed weekend with an unrivalled programme of entertainment.
Located on The Farm in Kingham, Oxfordshire, OX7 6UJ. Kingham is a village in the Cotswolds about 4 miles southwest of Chipping Norton. For further information on the different ways to reach us, click here.
Those driving to Big Feastival 2024 will need to purchase a Parking Pass. We recommend purchasing in advance as they will be cheaper than purchasing on the day. Please make sure all parking passes are printed and displayed in the front of your vehicle upon arrival at the site. You can purchase your parking passes here.
On arrival, please show your QR code ticket at the main gate, where you will be given your wristband to gain access to the festival. Campers, follow signs to the campsite to gain entry and receive your wristbands.
M&S Lounge wristbands will be allocated to guests at the entrance of the M&S Lounge, our exclusive area right next to the main stage! See site map for new location. Any additional VIP lanyards will also be allocated at the M&S Lounge.
There’s so much to see and do at Big Feastival so make sure to plan your day carefully! We’ve included some festival highlights and the festival map to help you decide.
All M&S colleagues and their guests will be able to visit the exclusive M&S Lounge, located to the right of the Main Stage. Here you can enjoy complimentary soft drinks and snacks, comfy seats and posh loos. Each guest will also receive drinks tokens so they can enjoy up to three bar-served drinks per day on us! So come in and take a break from the crowds in a specially curated space just for you.
With an upstairs terrace, the M&S Bar features a range of our incredible wines and pre-mixed Marksologist cocktails. Enjoy a drink whilst taking in arguably the best view of the Main Stage – see you there!
Find our M&S Food Store in the Main Arena where you can pick up your festival essentials, snacks and drinks. Percy Pigs anyone?
Showcasing the freshest, quality ingredients sourced from handpicked M&S Select Farms, the M&S Food Cookery School tent is the perfect place to learn all about our provenance and sourcing stories. We will guide you through making a delicious, seasonally-relevant dish that showcases some of our unique M&S products. On the menu? Summer Tomato Orzotto: a risotto-style dish that uses orzo, filled with summer flavour thanks to our juicy best-in-season tomatoes.
The first session of each day will be open specifically for teens and those who are no longer Little Cooks. Spaces are limited, and online pre-booking for our earlier sessions opens at 2pm August 13th. Click here to book!
Our later afternoon sessions will be available to book at 1.45pm each day, so come on down and get set to cook up a feastival feast.
A festival family highlight, the M&S Little Cooks tent provides an amazing opportunity for children aged 4-12 to learn about food and get stuck into cooking. A truly interactive class that includes a 15 min tour of the Kitchen Garden, where the Little Cooks will discover how we source and grow our freshest produce, before heading into the kitchen to build their own Chicken Burrito Bowl.
Spaces are limited, and online pre-booking for our earlier sessions opens on August 13th at 10am. Click here to book! Our later afternoon sessions will be available to book on the day of the class, at 1.45pm each day. Sign-up at the front desk at the entrance to the tent and watch your little ones become Little Cooks.
Visit the Meet the Producers tent in the M&S Village to taste some incredible M&S products from Butler's Farmhouse Cheeses, Driscoll's berries, Radnor Hills soft drinks and Wildfarmed bread. Hear all about how these suppliers are championing innovation and setting pioneering environmental standards - when we say, “this is not just food”, we mean it!
Let the games begin! The summer of sport continues in the M&S Village, with the addition of the Garden Games! Play a selection of lawn games designed after your favourite M&S characters, collecting stamps on your Challenge Card as you complete each one. Collected 4 stamps? Trade them for a Percy Pig or Colin the Caterpillar backpack!
Sleeping over? We have breakfast covered! You can relax, safe in the knowledge that there is a fully stocked M&S Café and food store in the campsite, providing campers with much-needed bacon rolls, fruit, freshly-baked pastries and – of course – proper coffee, served hot or iced.
